ANTHONY, SUSAN B. Autograph Letter Signed, to the Mayor of Eldorado [CA?], requesting "the exact truth in the matter" concerning a "brutal" incident allegedly involving a group of women as described in newspaper clippings she enclosed with the letter [not present]: "Men & Women are bad enough at the best, without resorting to such falsehoods to make them appear to be worse than they really are-- It is difficult to believe that man can ever be thus brutal, but that a band of women had so far forgotten their womanhood as to follow their example as in this instance, no sane person could believe." 2 pages, 8vo, written on the recto and verso of a single sheet; short separations at horizontal folds, small hole at middle right just touching text, abrasion at bottom of verso. Rochester, 26 December 1900
